GIJoe 98 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well done winning a meaningless game, bottle merchants fucked it months ago It was far from a meaningless game. Croatia have lost significant ground to Belgium. They were desperate to win, make no mistake. They've gone from being level but with an inferior goal difference to being three points behind with an even worse goal difference. We'll be significantly higher in the rankings which should hopefully prevent us from dropping into a lower pot for the next draws.Can't believe how blinkered some folk here are.

nelsonRFC82 305 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Far from meaningless, Croatia are trying to qualify...although looked like they thought they woould just turn up & win. We need wins, firstly to gain a platform to rebuild from but also from co-efficient point for next qualifying campaign. 3rd is still possible!Good performance, makeshift defence but were very well organised (few scary backpasses aside!). Also looked to keep possession and build play rather than go back to front. We did become a bit reckless in terms of our passing in 2nd half, but tiredness would have been playing a part.Very happy with performance & result!

JimmyCR1 1,504 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hopefully we are turning a corner, I really like Strachan and I think the players will listen to and respect him for what he has done in football. Whereas Craig Levine would never have won that dressing room over the guy was an imposter of a manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
